Hey all,
I'm looking for a source where I can order a K&N air filter.
NOT THE PODS!!!
I did a search for "air filters" on air filters and all I can find is tons of info on pod-style filters. My wife's GS500 is mildly rejetted so we don't need gobs of air.
I looked on the K&N website and figured the part number is SU-5589. Can anybody vouch for this?
Where can I order one of these filters?
I went to several websites and they don't seem to carry thar part number.
Thanks,
Heinzrx
I've got a brand new one I never used if you want to buy it off me. I got it from Ron Ayers over the summer, but never dropped it in.... This is the info from the website:
Part Number: 400226
Price: $44.58
www.ronayers.com
make me an offer if you're interested... otherwise, hope the part number helps.... :)

Yep, that's the right one. Check out my
K&N Stock Replacement Air Filter page.
I ordered mine at my local dealer a couple years ago, but I'm sure there are several online sources.
Hmmm. I just checked my 2001
Chaparral catalog , and it lists K&N part #SU-0051 (Chaparral part #340-0226) for the GS500E.
OK, I did a search for that Chaparral part # on their web site, and it came back with
SU-5589-1 OEM REPL AIR FILTER for $44.99.
EDIT: Changed link from sisna.com to bbburma.net
OK, I bought one of these filters.
Took the stock filter out.
Followed the instructions and installed the accompanying gasket at the base of the K&N filter.
When I went to drop the filter in place and screw it down I discovered that the stock screws are not long enough to use with the K&N filter. The base of the filter (where the holes for the mounting screws are located) is thicker than the base on the stock filter
The K&N filter came with two screws but those aren't long enough either.
Has anybody come across this situation?

I could swear that my SU-5589 came with 4 long screws. I don't remember having a problem with installation at all. BTW, what's the gasket you mentioned? Are you talking about the restrictor?
